Godaddy Windows. I always wondered about the sanity of anyone running vBulletin on windows. I never have. But it does happen. In fact I recently bought a vBulletin 4.2 and much to my chagrin, it's on a GD windows server. Ugh.

But, oddly they never had any significant issues with their GD windows hosting, since the site started in early 2010. And today, I still have it on that GD windows server and am having zero issues. Great speed, great uptime and great service. Pleasantly surprised - not because it is GD, but because it is windows.

Apparently I'm just really really lucky or something.

As for VB4 being like VB3, sure- but it is clear VB4 uses more resources than VB3 if you've ever run them side by side.

You were responding to Paul's point there, not any I was making. But what he really said used the term "grand scheme" and he is correct. There's really not alot of difference between your 3.8 and your 4.2, at least nothing like the difference between these and your v5. 3.8 and 4.2 are at least, first cousins. 5 doesn't appear related to them at all, just in name only.

Your previous comment was:

Previously we could not get VB to run reliably on any Go Daddy shared hosting.

And I am here to tell you that simply is not true in my experience. I am not sure who "we" is, but I have had outstanding vBulletin hosting results with Godaddy Linux and now also, GD Windows. This is a ten year proven track record.

I have also helped many people over the years with their vBulletin sites and many of those were hosted on Godaddy, and they had no hosting issues either. In fact I am yet to run into any vBulletin installation on Godaddy, that had issues because of the host.

I'm the exception that proves the rule, I suppose.
